It pretty much works out-of-the-box and uses MAME to tell it which config to set. You can always tweak per-game settings in GameEx\PLUGINS\PlugInUltraStik.ini. The default maps can also be edited using UltraMap (from Ultimarc website) in GameEx\PLUGINS\UltraStikMaps. But for the most part it should all just work without any changes.

Does the program on this thread work? Also I read on there that the iso is stored in a registry key so perhaps that is a better way to enter the name without pasting it into the dialog?

It looks like it's because your display is set to 16-bit. I'm sure Tom will look into it as soon as he can.

Oh you meant the cached ones! They are in the DATA folder then.

Fonts do look really nice in this new version. PS There are some cool features lined up now that everything has moved to Direct3D

For future reference they are in the THEME\???\MEDIA folder under the theme you're using called xxxx_Foreground.png

Adultery: That does not sound like something caused by GameEx, infact it sounds more like a hard disk error. Are you sure you didn't log in under a different user, since that is the only way for everything to be back to default like that (unless there was some corruption due to hard disk error). It also sounded a bit like a video card failure but because it changed your desktop wallpaper it's more likely to be a hard disk problem. Do a full scan disk of C drive (the one that requires a reboot to scan).

I do like this idea but since you can't use a dynamic link on a forum (or even embed a clickable image without adding a custom url link around it) it would require a special url that would redirect to a page. Eg. www.gameex.com/users/bkenobi which could have a page (like GameEx Live) which shows stats, current games, favourites etc. which all link back to gamesdbase.com.

With the grid view that shows all the videos in a list, since it requires a fast system, by default it should show image snaps that play the video when you roll over them.

I really like the new Gamer Tag feature but I do think they look a little bland. I played around with one in Photoshop to give it some shading. Perhaps we should try and get a better design like some of the other Gamer Tag's I've seen on forums. What info would you like to be displayed on them and do you have any ideas on it's design?

As mentioned it is a beta so there are bound to be problems, so really no such thing as a "noob" question. It's quite a big update to change rendering systems which is why this is a beta which is actually quite rare to see in a GameEx update. So it's just a matter of reporting any issues you have here so that Tom can go over them.

Here ya go

Any good?

Could it be "Display Settings->Start Page Zoom Animation"?

Nice work Tom. What was the problem with the latest codecs?

It's come along way now though, and it's cool even just to export your CP as bezels to view controls in MAME (when you pause it's overalyed as a bezel). Doing it that way you don't even need to run it all the time (an can even uninstall it). But Tom and I have been working to put some of it's features built into GameEx anyway.

I wouldn't give up on the Sharks007 codec pack so easy. It has alot of settings and you can change the default codec for certain file types. It depends on what format your videos are in, but say they are Xvid then there is the ffdshow codec and the Xvid codec included. The Xvid codec has settings you may need to adjust. If it keeps crashing try the ffdshow codec (libavcodec). More than likely it's a bug in a codec that will be fixed in a future release. But you should at least be able to change codecs to one that works. I believe EmuMovies uses Xvid format for it's avi's.

The problem was actually compiling the 32-bit version but I've figured out what the problem is now. If you want to compile a 32-bit version and it crashes with an error on png2bdc.exe then change the "Optimize For:" option to "None". I've just uploaded MC64 with this new option.

Run WinUAELoader.exe and configure it from in there. You should be able to launch games from Tools->Run ROM. If it launches from there you should be good to go.

Sorry to hear Brian hope things get better for you. No need to apologise it's water under the bridge now. Anyway family is No.1 always and hope things settle down for you so you can come back soon.

Sorry to leave you hanging like that but I did get the joke in the first place!

Not all games support NVRAM savestate so autosave will not work for all of them. Has anyone tried MC64 lately? Seem to be quite a number of people reporting it not working at the moment.

public void WriteValue(string Section, string Key, string Value) { if (Value != null) { if (Value.StartsWith("\"") && Value.EndsWith("\"")) Value = "\"" + Value + "\""; } WritePrivateProfileString(Section, Key, Value, this.path); } So just checking should I just remove this code that adds the extra quotes there?
